“I served as a co-missionary with Eastern Mennonite Missions from 1997 until 2008 in Hong Kong and Egypt, so missions has a special place in my heart. I am grateful for the opportunity to be connected with the mission board in this way.”

“I have admired VMMissions’ work and wanted to become more involved. Also, my wife and I have discussed the possibility of serving as missionaries later in retirement.”

“I’ve dreamed of partaking in mission work from a young age and believe this is a great way to learn the behind the scenes while supporting current missionaries.”

“[I have a] lifetime love of missions and the work that mission workers do, being the hands and feet of Jesus. I also care deeply about all issues related to refugees.”

“I used to work at VMMissions and was asked to join the board after changing jobs. It seems like a great way to stay involved and continue to do the good work Jesus calls us to do!”

“By serving on the Board, I am enjoying learning more about the administrative ‘nuts and bolts’ decision-making, planning, and execution to further God’s mission through VMMissions.”

“To assist this great organization with the continuing work of fulfilling the Great Commission and to use my gifts and talents in furtherance of that mission. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow in my faith and serve in another capacity.”

“I believe the Great Commission Jesus gave is not a suggestion, but a commandment that still applies. I’ve served on Mennonite Mission Network, and it will be a privilege to serve locally.”

“I have been a long-time VMMissions supporter with interest in contributing in new ways, and I am family friends with multiple international workers.”

“I have been a long-time financial supporter of VMMissions and several of the mission workers. Participating in Board leadership is a way to give more of my gifts to supporting an organization doing God’s good work in the world.”

“I have a passion for missions and I love this organization.”
